The bosses pay attention! ! POS machine ticket must not be lost

With the popularity of POS machines, credit card consumption has become one of the main payment methods for consumers. However, during the usual visits, Xiao Bian noticed that some new merchants did not timely organize and keep the small tickets after they swiped the cards. Xiao Bian reminds you here: This is a particularly bad habit, which may cause serious consequences. After the consumer has swiped the card, the merchants and friends must keep it.

Why keep a small ticket?

The experience accumulated over the years tells us that many consumers may not remember where the consumption occurred after they swipe their cards, and they will call the bank for consultation. At this time, the bank will adjust the order, then the merchant will need to provide a small ticket as evidence of consumption. (Small tickets must be signed by the customer, and the writing must be neat) Therefore, at this time, only the small ticket can be proved that the consumption is actually consumed by the customer at the merchant. (Remember that the small ticket must be kept, you must sign it yourself, not your own, you must take a photo of your ID card)

If the small ticket is lost within the time limit, if the customer does not recognize the merchant, it will not be able to provide the customer's consumption basis. It is likely that the merchant will need to pay this amount!

How long does the POS ticket keep at least?

The pos machine ticket is kept for at least 180 days (half a year), and the recommended time is 2 years.

The small ticket must be kept for more than 6 months because the customer has to settle through UnionPay after swiping the card. After the customer swipes the card, the issuing bank transfers the transaction to the merchant's billing account. Within six months of the transaction, UnionPay may investigate the signature slip if there is a problem during the period.

To be on the safe side, merchants can delay the retention time. The general civil action statute is two years, so if you can save it for two years, it is foolproof. (However, this is only an ideal time to save, it is very difficult for general merchants to do it)

Those things to keep in mind when saving small tickets!

Generally, POS machines print small tickets through thermal paper. If the thermal paper used in the cash register is uneven, the print quality will be significantly reduced. If the chemical formula of the thermal coating is small, if it is unreasonable. It also causes the paper to be stored for a short time.

Good thermal paper can be stored for 5 years after printing. Now there are more long-lasting thermal papers that can be stored for 10 years, but if the formula of the thermal-sensitive coating is unreasonable, it may only last for a few months.

Under normal circumstances, the thermal paper that we are exposed to is relatively inferior and has a short storage time. Therefore, merchants can keep the small ticket at normal temperature and avoid direct sunlight (use it in an opaque paper bag, do not use it). Plastic bags, plastic bags are easy to transmit light and have a chemical reaction). Most of the supermarket tickets are kept for about half a year, because in order to reduce costs, supermarkets generally do not use extra expensive thermal paper.
